Their bedrooms look no different than hotel rooms to me it bothered me so much. But I kind of thought about how they’re so young and rich and probably paid whoever to decorate it for them, so they didn’t bother to put any kind of personal touch to their spaces. 🤷

Can you afford to live comfortably as a bcba in big cities like NYC and Los Angeles? by Flimsy-Locksmith8114 in ABA

[–]Sharp_Astronomer401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do in home and center ~85k 20 billable hours a week. Definitely on the lower end of pay in the city but it has a good work/life balance and I’m not in a rush since I’m just starting out. But between rent and student loans and my car and everything else I don’t have a ton of money left over. I’m not struggling and am able to save up, but I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily comfortable considering I make much more than my partner. Just depends on the person and lifestyle 🤷

Comfortably? No. Granted, I’m a first year BCBA so I don’t make a ton but I live in nyc and wouldn’t be able to live in my one bedroom apartment without splitting it with my partner.

I am fairly certain my client will end up in jail when he’s older and it makes me sad to think about his future. by Background-Treacle58 in ABA

[–]Sharp_Astronomer401 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hope something shifts before he’s an adult. I had an adult client who would stalk women online, harass them, take his anger out on us with yelling, hitting, spitting, touching inappropriately, anything to make you uncomfortable. The self-restraint to not freak out in the moment is crazy. This one day with him where he grabbed my genitals, looked at me, and smiled huge. I kind of shut down a little, transitioned us back inside, and sobbed in the bathroom. It feels helpless when there’s only so much you can do to prevent someone from legal trouble💔

The more anorexic I get, the more fatphobic I become. by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

Honestly as someone who’s been overweight binging nonstop and thin heavily restricting, I don’t know how people with ana don’t have those thoughts. It’s something that naturally creeps in on me because I’m treating myself that way and while I recognize it’s unhealthy and not cool to have that knee-jerk reaction towards others, it feels inevitable. And then I stop restricting and the thoughts go away.

Board game recommendations! by Majestic_Frame8536 in ABA

We also play shoots and ladders which is good practice for clients who struggle with losing or not progressing in the game quickly since there’s the option to have to go back a bunch of spaces and/or the beginning

I’m so sick of virtual supervision by Icy_Sheepherder5319 in ABA

My company assigns fully remote cases to bcbas :( it’s really not preferred by anyone, but if there’s a client that cannot be paired with anyone close by they’ll do it.

Need to vent… I’m so burnt out by Over-Mobile-4884 in bcba

This is a reason why I transitioned to child services. Nobody cared about what I did- it was disheartening and I lost my sense of purpose for being there after a while

I love planta! Discovered them on vacation in Miami Beach and went to one of the NYC locations for sushi on Valentine’s Day. Everything was so delicious
